From CNN's Barbara Starr

For the first time ever, the NATO Response Force has been activated as a defensive measure in response to Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Tod Wolters activated the multinational force consisting of land, air, sea and special operations forces from the allies that can deploy quickly in support of the NATO alliance.

The activation of the response troops does not mean that any US or NATO troops will go into Ukraine, which is not a member of the alliance. US President Joe Biden has been clear that US troops are deploying to eastern Europe to help bolster NATO countries nervous about Russia's aggressive actions, and they will not be fighting in Ukraine.

Wolters called it a "historic moment" in his statement.

1. Someone inside Russia needs to remove the mad man from power!

[onecaliberal]

2. That is my thought as well. Take the son of a bitch out and be done with it.

Gives me some hope they will remove him from power. 🤞🤞

[onecaliberal]

6. Yes, I read it when it came out. I was hopeful that it wouldn't get this far.

Now that the Russian people have seen what the war criminal is doing in their names, I hope someone does the right thing.

[SheltieLover]

7. I'm hoping the same thing!

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

9. Fingers and toes crossed.

[SheltieLover]

11. Can't happen quickly enough!

[bluestarone]

8. YES!

I hope he has to use eyes behind his head! POISON rubbed on his face would be AWESOME!

[SheltieLover]

10. I've read he has been very isolated & paranoid

[bluestarone]

12. YES!

Hey POOTY better watch what you eat!!!!!

[SheltieLover]

13. Lol

I'll bet he has food tasters. Not that he has a guilty conscience or anything.

[PSPS]

18. He's safe as long as the oligarchs, who skim off 80% of russia's GDP, are happy.

4. With over 30 countries hating the little bastard

somebody drop a missile on his head.
They'll never know who did it....

[orwell]

5. Hey Pooty...

...get control of your Navy. You're starting to hit NATO ships.

Fuck around and find out...

[Beachnutt]

15. He's about to

FAFO...
He hit a Japanese ship didn't he ?

[turbinetree]

14. Hey Puss head hope that one of your "troops" don't accidently fire a strange shell across a border

or fire upon a NATO aircraft......and as for that enclave called Kaliningrad, I don't think they have permission to fly over NATO land.....

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

17. Kaliningrad has been coming to mind the past few days...

... that if Putin invaded Ukraine, then why not just take Kaliningrad? I realize it is no doubt heavily stocked with arms, but denying another, "warm water port", to Russia ....

[IronLionZion]

20. Much of the Russian Navy has shifted out to the Atlantic

in case NATO blockades the Baltic Sea. I doubt there would be any incursion into the land on Kaliningrad.

[Traildogbob]

16. How sweet

Would it be if he was taken out and fully exposed as the murderous criminal he is. And that shit sticks all over Vlrump, Tuckums, Pompeo, and all the traitorous Penis pus scraps.

[IronLionZion]

19. Putin has to stop at the border with NATO countries

It sucks really badly for Ukraine but Putin won't be going into the Balkans, Poland, or any further into Europe. He's likely to go after Georgia next. Belarus and Moldova are already in his pocket.
